Conference in the entries above may have referred to Charles Churchill's poem of that name, see my entry for Conference. The Letters of 12.6.1798, 27.6.1798, 10.7.1798 and 20.7.1798 seem to me to have referred to Godwin's letters to Harriet Lee, of which some undated drafts and fair copies are in Abinger c17 f69 to f87. (Abinger c17 f60-65 seem to predate Godwin's June visit to Bath). Religion (27.6.1798) was certainly a subject of more than one of the drafts. I have included the visits of (Miss S) Laney, see her entry, as they may have been related to Godwin's courtship of Miss Lee. A closer study of the letters between Godwin and Lee and of what he was reading (e.g Rousseau & Ovid) and writing in this period, might reveal further probable interpretations. The letters also show that Godwin was staying with the Jones's on his first (March) visit to Bath, and that Godwin believed Harriet Lee had stayed with or near to the Linleys when she visited London without seeing him that spring, and he expected she would travel there with "the two Emilys". I haven't identified the Emilys but they may have been pupils of the Lee sisters at their school at Belvidere House, Bath. The use of "chez elle" which Godwin had used in his relationship with Mary Wollstonecraft until she had moved in to his house shortly after their marriage has been thought (eg by St Clair) to have referred to fairly intimate trysts between Godwin and Lee, but Mark Philp suggeted they may have been visits to Mary Wollstonecraft's grave, (perhaps in order to 'consult her spirit' about his courtship of Harriet Lee?). For the one other anomalous use of "chez elle" see my entry for Mary (with no surname)
